Biliverdin Reductase (BVR) Peptides That Inhibit PCK-delta for the Potential Treatment of Cancer and Inflammation

Applications: Dr. M. Maines is a leading expert in BVR research and has uncovered many applications for this enzyme. In this invention she has linked BVR to modulation of PKC and found potent inhibitory peptides that may have utility in both understanding and treating cancer. A multiplicity of functions has been ascribed to PKC. Recurring...

Human Biliverdin Reductase is a New Member of the Insulin Receptor Substrate Family with Serine/Threonine/Tyrosine Kinase Activity

Applications:Human biliverdin reductase (BVR) is an evolutionary conserved soluble enzyme that was originally characterized in the context of its reductase activity (conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin) and more recently shown to possess serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity. The present work demonstrates that this dual kinase activity of BVR...
